wright socket rails in Ernst mount?

[khuebner250]

Will this setup work. I've searched all over this forum and can't find a conclusion. if I'm right the Wright, Matco, Craftsman and VIM rails are the same. I just need to know if they will snap into the gray Ernst mounting bases. What say you?

Thanks.

Anyone? Just don't want to end up with a bunch of bases that don't fit the wright rails I have. Thanks.

I have some wright and one Ernst rail I can compare, but no bases.

If the matco ones are the same, they don't fit well in an Ernst base. My bases are black but i think they're the same as the grey ones. The rail is a mm or 2 narrower than he ernst so it lays in instead of snapping in. Also the hole at the end of the rail is smaller and has no slot to lock it onto the base. I suppose that could be remedied with a bigger hole but IMHO would not work quite the same.
Here's a couple pics. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the pics. Looks like I'm going to have to find another way. I'm thinking 1/4" ball studs to click into the holes on the rails. Just don't know what to fasten the studs to.

Thanks
